Episode 27: Purposeful Parenthood Planning with Helen Cammack

During this episode I talk to Helen Cammack about how the act of purposefully planning her experience of parenthood ahead of time has had a profound impact on how she does her thing in her life in life and Motherhoodd. After a successful corporate career and several start-up businesses, becoming a parent nearly didn't happen for Helen because she just couldn't see past the challenges of parenthood, and couldn't figure out how it would work for her. Helen was anxious about becoming a parent for many years, until she finally overcame that anxiety with the planning and preparation required as part of the adoption process. And when she finally adopted her two children when she was nearly 43 she felt ready to embrace parenthood, her way, and her anxiety dissipated. 7 years later, Helen is now the founder of Preparental.com, a business to help all future parents (not just adopters) with their practical planning and preparation for being parents Whether you’re a natural planner or not, this episode offers so much food for thought around the power of approaching life as a parent with our eyes and minds wide open. Because, as Helen so beautifully shares in this episode,  she believes that planning and preparing your life - not just your body - for parenthood, enables parents to be more confident, purposeful, aligned and intentional, and much more likely to enjoy the parenthood ride in our own unique and ownable ways. PODCAST REFERENCES- Eve Rodsky - The Fair Play Method - https://www.fairplaylife.com/the-book GUEST INFORMATION:- Follow Tricia on LinkedIn HERE - Find out more aboout Helen's work and business HERE - Access Helen's Parenthood Purpose Finder Course for FREE at preparental.com/purpose using the discount code "Tamsin" (normally £19)- The Childcare PlanBuilder course is available at preparental.com/childcare- Join Helen's parent panel at preparental.com/parentsABOUT YOUR PODCAST HOST, TAMSIN WILLIAMSON:- Visit my website and find out about my coaching work HERE- Book a FREE 30-minute call to explore working together HERE- Follow me on Instagram HERE- Join my email community: The Parenthood RetreatWelcome to Do Your Thing - a bold, beautiful celebration of modern Motherhood, on YOUR terms.Hosted by Tamsin Williamson, The Identity & Self-Leadership Coach for Ambitious Women Ready To Redefine Life Beyond Motherhood.Every week, join me for open and unfiltered conversations with awe-inspiring women (who also happen to be mothers) about how they do their thing - in life, work and everything in between.Together, let’s throw out the rule book, shed expectations and shine a light on just how varied and vibrant modern motherhood can be.
